Warning! This track is polarising!

On the one hand, we have seasoned DJs like Torren Foot, David Penn, Adam Beyer & Mary Jane downloading it and giving feedback like "this is fun", "love it, end of the night ballad" and "This is really classy, love it!".

Then another well-respected DJ told us in no uncertain terms, "He needn't have bothered, it's shocking."

How does Kevin McKay respond to that? "Sometimes I want to make records that are just fun," he says. "Not every release has to be a serious piece of dance music. The industry, however, doesn't like this. I constantly hear that 'people hate covers,' or a well-known label exec is on Twitter telling people to 'stop playing Abba.'

Thankfully, I don't have a traditional label, and I don't have to follow these snobby guidelines. However, I understand that not everyone wants releases with vocals you'd hear at a wedding on a label like Glasgow Underground. So I've set up a new label that allows me to do whatever I want.

WTF is the name of the label, and the first release brings together two of my favourite things, 80s vocals and big disco energy. 

This idea came from a DM I got from a fan, asking me to remix Foreigner. I wasn't sure I could do it, but after the session, I wasn't just convinced - I'd fallen in love with the track. After sending it out to DJs, the response was so positive, I set out to create a legal, releasable version. Up steps Simon Ellis on vocal duties, and here we have it, the 80s classic "I Want To Know What Love Is" turbocharged for 2025 fun-time parties.

Most Precious Love

Most Precious Love (feat. Barbara Tucker)

Dennis Ferrer steps up to transform a Girls of the Internet favourite on Classic, ‘Affirmations’ featuring Anelisa Lamola. With incoming shows at Defected’s new Pacha Ibiza residency, Mochakk’s Calling Festival and Dom Dolla’s residency at Hï Ibiza set for summer 2025, Dennis Ferrer continues to prove himself as one of the world’s premiere selectors. His status as a house innovator has been cemented through new ventures, including the launch of thriftshoppe with partner Olena Ferrer, and this highly anticipated label debut from an NYC legend heralds Classic’s 30th anniversary. Starting as a collaboration between Girls of the Internet’s Tom Kerridge and UK soul sensation Sophie Faith, ‘Affirmations’ was released in summer of 2023 prior to the collective’s full-length LP When I Was Lost, I Found Myself. Dennis Ferrer completely transforms ‘Affirmations’, taking Tom Kerridge’s emotive production and giving it undeniable synth bounce mixed with NYC grit, with Anelisa Lamola’s tender yet powerful vocals stretched and pulled to create rhythmic intricacies.

The energy and freedom of the night...
The song "Locomia," by the group Locomia, is a vibrant celebration of the freedom and energy of Ibiza nightlife. The repetition of words like "Disco, Ibiza, Loco Mía" and the emphasis on themes like fashion, sun, sea, and sex show that the song seeks to convey the island's relaxed and festive atmosphere. The group, which began as a collective of fashion designers, brings to its lyrics and rhythm the idea of transforming the dance floor into a space for free expression, where everyone can let loose and have fun without judgment. The constant reference to the "abanicos" (fans), the group's visual symbol, reinforces this unique identity, uniting fashion and music in a striking way.
Locomia's historical context, marked by diverse cultural influences and an extravagant look, is evident in the lyrics' blend of Spanish and English, expanding the message's reach. Lines like "Loco Mía keeps your body movin'" and "Ain't nothing to it, let your body do it" reinforce the idea that dancing is an act of freedom and self-affirmation. By repeating terms like "sex" and "crazy," the song suggests an atmosphere of hedonism and permissiveness typical of Ibiza in the 1980s, while always maintaining a light and festive tone. Thus, "Locomia" establishes itself as an anthem to fun, fashion, and the celebration of individuality—elements that made the group a pop icon of its time.
